It seemed a waste not to bottle my previously frozen ice chunk left over from an Eisbock recipe. It had all the smell and flavor and was a bit darker. Has anyone ever bottled their ice from icebock? Did it explode?

1Wouldn't it be mostly free of alcohol? Isn't that the point of ice distillation?– GrahamJan 5, 2012 at 18:19

1If you didn't thaw it, you could shave it and make Sno-cones! I've made Guinness sorbet a few times - add sugar to Guinness and throw it in an ice-cream maker. Delicious!– JoeFishJan 6, 2012 at 21:03

The freezing point of the ethanol in your eisbock is much lower than water, thus, your chunk is, sadly, just a big ice cube.
The ice is water with little, if any, alcohol to it. There's really no reason to bottle it.
